Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli (O157:H7) Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR Method) P233-633H-Viral Infections

Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) is also known as verotoxigenic E. coli (VTEC). Causes hemorrhagic colitis, the main serotype is 0157:H7. it was first discovered in the United States in 1982, and has sporadic or local epidemics around the world. Children under 5 years old are susceptible to infection, and symptoms vary from mild watery stools to bloody stools accompanied by severe abdominal pain. About 10% of children under 10 years old may be complicated by acute renal failure and hemolytic uremic syndrome. 

Symptoms (hemolvtic uremisyndrome, HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, the mortality rate is about 10%. The main pathogenic factors of EHEC are pili and Vero toxin. Contaminated food is an important source of infection such as undercooked beef products, unpasteurized milk, water, juice, raw vegetables and fruits, etc. The reservoir hosts of this bacterium are mostly domestic animals (ruminants), because it lacks the toxin receptor,the bacterium is not pathogenic to animals.

At present, more and more attention has been paid to food safety, Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). as a newly discovered intestinal pathogenic microorganism that seriously endangers human life and health, is also one of the most important research objects in the field of food hygiene and intestinal infection in recent years. The Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli (0157:H7) Nucleic Acid Detection Kit developed by TianLong Biotechnology is intended for the quick, accurate detection of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli (0157:H7) assists in the diagnosis and treatment of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection patients and public healthcare management.
